Featured in this report are campaign staffers who work on Congressman ORourkes US Senate campaign discussing how they use campaign resources to help Honduran aliens and transport them to airports and bus stations. Said Dominic Chacon and AnaPaula Themann, who work on ORourkes campaign: Chacon: The Hondurans, yeah
Im going to go get some food right now, like just some stuff to drop off
Themann: How did they get through? Chacon: Well I think they accepted them as like asylum-seekers
So, Im going to get some groceries and some blankets
Themann: Dont ever repeat this and stuff but like if we just say that were buying food for a campaign event, like the Halloween events
Chacon: Thats not a horrible idea, but I didnt hear anything. Umm, we can wait until tomorrow for that. Themann: Well thats exactly the food we need. And I will just mark it as, I do have dozens of block walkers. Using pre-paid credit cards
some sort of violation A Project Veritas Action attorney reviewed the footage and assessed: The material Project Veritas Action Fund captured shows campaign workers covering up the true nature of spending of campaign funds and intentionally misreporting them. This violates the FECs rules against personal use and misreporting. It also violates Section 1001, making a false statement to the federal government. The FEC violations impose civil penalties, including fines of up to $10,000 or 200 percent of the funds involved. Violations of Section 1001 are criminal and include imprisonment of up to five years. Chacon and Themann also explain how they go about concealing their use of campaign funds for alien support purposes: Themann: Theres actually stores that just mark it as food they dont mark different types
at Albertsons, on the receipts, it marks it just based off of brand
Chacon: I think we can use that with those [campaign pre-paid] cards to buy some food, all that s**t can be totally masked like, oh we just wanted a healthy breakfast! Themann says that she doesnt want to make it seem like all of us are from [the ORourke campaign] when going to distribute supplies to the Honduran aliens. She adds, I just hope nobody thats the wrong person finds out about this. Chacon elaborates on the usage of pre-paid campaign cards, saying, Were going to use more of those cards to get them more supplies too. So its all going to work out. Im done being nice. Im done being professional. [Be]cause nothing is professional. None of this is like s**t there is a rule book for, you know? Later in the report, Chacon also reveals theres not really an approval process regarding the usage of the pre-paid cards, and that we can just go and get the food and we can come up with a BS excuse like as to why we needed to get this stuff. He adds, Under the table just sort of do it. Nobody needs to know Chacon explains that Jody Casey, the campaign manager for the ORourke campaign, was happy to hear about their efforts supporting aliens with campaign funds: Chacon: She texted us afterward and was like, Im so happy that we have a staff that gets it and was there, I was so happy to see yall there, still working, still contributing, we have the best team ever
she was good about it. Journalist: So, Jody knows? Chacon: Well, she doesnt know we used the pre-paid card, but she doesnt need to know. Added Chacon, when discussing the possibility for using campaign vans to help the Honduran aliens, we could probably get away with using the vans
Nobody needs to know. Chacon also says, For me, I can just ignore the rules and Im like f**k it. When asked about using campaign resources to help the Honduran aliens, Casey said dont worry: Journalist: It just made me really concerned, like, you know, because I know that were using some of the campaign resources to help with the migrants and like, I just didnt want anybody to get in trouble with that
Journalist: Like I didnt want them to ask me any questions about people using resources
Jody Casey: Dont worry. Andrea Reyes, who also works on the ORourke campaign, revealed that she has text messages showing she received approval for using the pre-paid cards: Reyes: The thing is yeah, as long as were not advertising it. I mean yeah, I dont really know. They said it was fine sooo *throws hands up* I mean I dont know, okay. I told you about it! I have the text messages to prove it, sooo
Journalist: So you told Jody? Reyes: Yeah. I told Jody and I told my director. When asked about using campaign vans to assist the Honduran aliens, Chacon reveals that they are going to transport the aliens to airports and bus stations: Chacon:
were going to give rides to some of the immigrants too. Like to the airport, to the bus station, like why not, you know? Poster Comment: More tweets and videos at source. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest

I'm not sure how they got these recordings, but it seems these people have hung themselves. What they are talking about is a federal violation of FEC rules. They could all end up doing time in the big house for this. ;)
